About Jason Thibeault

Hi! I'm a tech guy, skeptic, feminist, gamer and atheist, and love OSS and science of all stripes. I enjoy a good bit of whargarbl now and again, and will occasionally even seek it out. I am also apparently responsible for the death of common sense on the internet. My bad.

I have opinions. So do you. You want to share them with me. I would like to do likewise. Please don't expect a platform for proselytizing that will go unchecked and unchallenged, though. Contact me via the clicky thingies under my banner.

The commenting rules are simple: don't piss me off. This rule has worked for me for a decade; I have never found a need for any other rule, because any other rules leads to rules-lawyering. Just remember -- this is my property, not yours.

Maddow on GOP homophobia flip-flopping: “absolute bull”

I can’t believe this nonsense about Thorne-Begland being blocked from becoming a judge by Republicans because he’s gay. Impeccable credentials, bipartisan support, and a waxing public support for gays, and yet these backward-looking Republicans are entrenching themselves in their homophobia.

Only now that they’ve realized their anti-gay opinions are anathema to public discourse, they’re lying about it!

Absolutely it shouldn’t be a surprise, Jason. It always has been and always will be about the buttsecks. Social conservatives can NOT handle that buttsecks takes places between two men, that two guys could be giving each other the bone. That it even exists completely blows their minds, and makes them feel all weird and stuff.

Naturally, some percentage of them are titillated by it, but refuse to admit to that. Instead, they just hire gay escorts and get their buttsecks that way.

It should also be noted that the Rethuglicans in the Virginia General Assembly spit in the eye of Governor McDonnell who appointed the gentleman. Of course, the governor is a very conservative Rethuglican but, apparently, they came into their calculations not at all.

At least the Clinton-hunters were clever. They established in asking the questions that only penile-vaginal intercourse would be (for the purposes of Clinton’s answer) defined as “sex”. They knew that if he said that he had had sex with “the woman in question” he would have perjured himself, but if he actually answered the question as defined (which he did) they’d be able to convince much of the public that he had perjured himself. Today’s GOP have decided that they don’t even need to go to the effort of setting up a weasel-word trap; now they just rely on the fact that the media will report their claims as entirely equivalent to those made on the basis of actual reality.
